About this listen
Playful Parenting means joining children in their world of play, focusing on connection and confidence, giggling and roughhousing, and following your child's lead. This audiobook is an exciting approach to raising children that will help you nurture close relationships and solve behavior problems.
Think about the loving gaze of an infant, the no-hold-barred embrace of a toddler, the intimacy of a shared bedtime story, or a silent hand-in-hand walk. These moments of heartfelt connection with our children are part of the great payoff for the hard work of parenting. Yet this connection all too often eludes us. We find ourselves locked in battle instead of joined in partnership. Play can be the long-sought bridge back to that deep emotional bond between parent and child.

The first book of parenting all should hear
I loved this. I will listen to this over and over again. It was everything I needed and so much more. Every parent should listen to this, ideally while the kids are babies. Thank you!

Great content and easy to listen to
Great content and the narrator had a relaxed easy to listen to tone. I appreciated the references to reviewed and academic literature.

A MUST READ FOR ALL PARENTS!
What made the experience of listening to Playful Parenting the most enjoyable?
The anecdotal stories and the parent-to-parent advice provided a lot of food for thought and made A LOT of sense. It was entertaining, insightful and enlightening. I was always ready to start playing and connecting with my kids after listening to these words of wisdom.
What did you like best about this story?
I liked that the author also recognised that he didn't always get parenting 'right' and that he made some less than desirable decisions in his parenting journey too. It was refreshing to hear from another parent who could see their errors, change their approach and have some grace for all of us who struggle at times.
What about Lawrence J. Cohen’s performance did you like?
Lawrence J. Cohen's performance was great. He was easy to listen to.
If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
Build strong, connected families with Playful Parenting.
Any additional comments?
This book is a must for all parents. It handles all aspects of parenting including discipline, setting limits, understanding your child, finding compassion and understanding and building your child's self esteem with well-researched evidence to back it all up.

excellent parenting resource!
very insightful. great examples of common issues and the needs behind the behaviour. I like the approach and that supporting children through play and connecting rather than punishment but also not passively parenting either.
